Dongba Market IPA

India Pale Ale

The energy of the market, the depth of Huế.

Dongba Market IPA is our boldest IPA, brewed with a mix of European and American hops for strong citrus, pine, and resinous aromas. A firm malt base and crisp bitterness create a balanced but hop-forward beer.

6.0%ABV

39IBU

◌

Best enjoyed

Made for lively evenings when the table turns to grilled, spicy and deeply flavoured food.

✦

How to enjoy it

Use a wide-mouthed glass and sip slowly so grapefruit, tropical fruit and pine unfold in layers.

Inspiration

The name draws from the spirit of Đông Ba Market: vivid, diverse and unmistakably connected to Huế. Rather than recreating a specific place or dish, the beer translates the market’s richness and direct energy into a bold but composed IPA.

Its Huế connection

Its pronounced hop character cuts through spicy, fatty and deeply grilled food. It feels especially at home in the evening, when the air cools and the table turns toward richer dishes.

Flavour layers

Tropical fruit
Pine resin
Light caramel malt
Lingering bitterness

Pairing notes

Grilled beef, ribs, smoked meats, spicy dishes, fried food and mature cheese.

Hiển Nhơn Dunkel Weizen

Dark Wheat Beer

Warm and contemplative, like rain within the old Citadel.

Hiển Nhơn Dark Wheat is a smooth and malt-driven dark wheat beer, brewed with dark wheat and caramel malts for layers of roasted character, cocoa, coffee, and subtle dark fruit.

5.0%ABV

18IBU

◌

Best enjoyed

At home on a rainy Huế afternoon, a cooler evening or a conversation meant to linger.

✦

How to enjoy it

Do not serve it too cold; give the glass a few minutes for toasted malt, ripe banana and clove to emerge.

Inspiration

Its Huế connection

Its warm malt character is particularly suited to rainy days, cooler evenings and meals centred on roasted, braised or grilled dishes. Low bitterness lets it accompany Huế seasoning without overpowering it.

Flavour layers

Toasted bread
Caramel
Ripe banana
Clove
Light roasted malt

Pairing notes

Roast pork, grilled duck, beef stew, braised meats, grilled mushrooms and rich sauces.
